Step up to the lists & see how you fare in the Gen Con 50 Chainmail Jousting Tourney!
Description:
Players sit down at a dedicated gaming table be set up with a beautiful diorama of vintage 70mm Elastolin figures and coconuts! Face off with one of your friends or make a new one and challenge them to a tilt! It just takes 5 to 10 minutes to joust, each player marks their aiming point & defense, compares it to their opponents and determines the outcome! Each half-hour we will run a mini tournament for up to 6 players. If your score is among the top knights, you fill out a brief form with your jousting strategy. The form will then be compared to the other top knights in an automatic quarter & semi-final elimination. If the two finalists can meet for a final joust in the Grand Tournament on Sunday, then they will meet face to face to determine the Gen Con 50 Jousting Champion! If the Grand Tournament can not be arranged the finalists' original forms will be compared to determine a winner!
